Middlefield hurricane guide¶

Middlefield is an inland hill town in Hampshire County, so the main dangers when the remains of a tropical storm move through are heavy rain, flash flooding, and high winds. The town uses CodeRED to send emergency messages and asks residents to add their cell phones. It publishes no separate hurricane or flood page, so use the Hampshire County page for state contacts and shelter guidance.

Emergency and information numbers¶

Official alerts and information¶

• Middlefield CodeRED: The town's emergency notification system sends messages by phone, text message, and email to the whole town or specific areas. Include your cell phone, because there are no cell or VoIP numbers in the initial database. Sign up before a storm. Website.
